Tori Spelling details growing up in the Manor, selling for $137.5M

Tori Spelling is looking back on life in the Manor.

The actress spoke to “MisSpelling” podcast listeners Tuesday about the 56,000-square-foot home in Los Angeles that she lived in with dad Aaron Spelling, mom Candy Spelling and brother Randy Spelling.

The family of three moved in when Tori was 17, five years after her parents purchased Bing Crosby’s former home and razed it.

Before the original estate was bulldozed, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum, 51, recalled, “There were hidden passageways and an underground library. … You pushed on something and it went into these secret rooms.”

Afterward, the new property featured 125 rooms, Tori estimated.

These included a bowling alley, a beauty salon, a gym, an arcade, a bar, a pool table room and a doll museum — with all of the “unique” rooms in the basement level.

“On the ground level there’s everything that you would think of on a ground level,” the former reality star explained of the rest of the home. “You would take the elevator [or] stairs [up] for the bedrooms.”

Tori, who joked about scaring her brother’s friends with her “creepy” doll room, went on to explain why she does not have an “emotional attachment” to the legendary home.

“I never did,” she noted. “I have good memories there, but my best memories with my parents were created at the other house [on the same street].”

She claimed that the house was not her father’s “jam” since he preferred a “small and cozy” residence, while Candy, now 78, was the one who “love[d] to decorate.”

When Aaron died in 2006 at age 83, his widow sold the home, which is currently on the market for $137.5 million.

At the time, Tori was living with then-husband Dean McDermott, with whom she shares children Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7.

The former couple broke up in June 2023 after 17 years of marriage, with Tori officially filing for divorce this March.

Since the duo’s split, Tori has made headlines for living with her kids in an RV park, a $100-per-night motel room and multiple rental homes, one of which she denied “trash[ing]” on her podcast.

A source alleged to Page Six in August 2023 that Tori has “concoct[ed]” these headline-making stays because “the poor little rich girl narrative is a good storyline.”
